PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Always protect floors when moving heavy objects to prevent permanent scratches and gouges.
Do not use tape to secure floor protection during construction or renovation. Use ram board or similar to protect the
floor.
Use appropriate wide floor protectors under tables, chairs, and any other heavy home furnishing to avoid permanent damage.
Walk-off mats should be used at all entrances to absorb soil and moisture. If mats are placed directly on top of the resilient
floors, use mats without latex or rubber backings to avoid possible discoloration.
Use appropriate window coverings to avoid direct sunlight as this can fade the color of the flooring over time.
ROUTINE MAINTENANCE
Daily removal of dirt and dust is important to prevent particles from abrading the surface of resilient floors. Sweeping, dust
mopping, and vacuuming are recommendations to remove soil particles that can result in scratches and worn appearances. Do
not use vacuums with rotating beater bars on hard surfaces.
Periodic wet cleaning will be necessary to help maintain the floor’s appearance. Always pre- vacuum or dust mop before any
type of wet cleaning. Appropriate SPC Flooring cleaning agents are recommended. Beware of grocery store cleaning
products that claim to be approved for flooring use. These products will usually leave a hazy appearance after cleaning that
can be difficult to remove. Do not use abrasive cleaners or cleaning agents that leave dull residues on the surface of the floors.
Follow the cleaning manufacturer’s instructions for damp mopping and application. If rinsing is necessary, use clean water
and expedite drying with air movers or fans.
Bona Hard Surface Cleaner or equivalent floor cleaner are recommended for general spotting and cleaning.
Avoid using mop and shine products on your resilient flooring.
SPOT & SPILL REMOVAL
Our flooring products are engineered to resist and help minimize common staining.
• Absorb wet spills as quickly as possible by blotting with paper or cloth towels. Rinse with water if necessary and blot dry.
• Use Bona Hard Surface Cleaner cleaning products or products formulated for SPC floor cleaning. Do not use detergents or
abrasive cleaners since these products can leave a dull residue.
• Dried spots should be removed by gentle agitation and rinsed with water. Blot dry.
• Use rubbing alcohol (isopropyl alcohol) with a clean white cloth for spots requiring a solvent type of cleaner that water and
cleaning agents cannot remove.
Please note that some stain conditions may become permanent.
Safety Precaution: The surfaces of resilient floors change during wet cleaning and finish applications. Use appropriate
safety measures.
